Equipping Your Church for Long-Term Missional Impact! 

ENGAGE- You are invited to the In Mission Together (IMT) Global Partnership Summit sponsored by Global Ministries in collaboration with the Great Plains Conference and hosted by Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas. Featuring practitioners from around the world who are leading disciple-making movements based on the Wesleyan model. These dynamic, young leaders will share their insights and provide training for equipping and empowering your church both locally and globally.  

COLLABORATE - You will engage in an interactive, collaborative roundtable with partners on three continents: Asia, Africa, and North America. We will have hubs in Kyrgyzstan, Malawi, and Honduras with real-time, interactive dialogue and worship through simulcasting over the internet.  You will be equipped to replicate this use of technology in your own church with your missional partners.  

RESPOND - You will be equipped through the 50/50 Covenant and empowered with groundbreaking tools for missional engagement including the creation of "glocal" partnerships based on long-term, asset-based methodology versus short-term, needs-based charity. You will be ready to mobilze your church and inspired by the collaboration to join the movement.

As God works in us and through us, we will share  joint worship experiences that connect the attendees in the United  States with the attendees in Central Asia, Malawi, and Honduras.    We'll sing, hear inspiring messages, share communion, and hear the  faith stories of our brothers and sisters across the world.
